I intend to live in another city and land a job there.But I also have to take into account my parents and other stuff. I know one's life goal should be given priority but what about my parents? Actually, the city I decide to work and settle is very close to my hometown. Can you offer me some suggestions about this ?

All is well its obvious that your parents would want you to be happy and fullfil your goals but it is our responsibility to take care of their happiness aswell.If you have planned to settle in the city mentioned by you atleast make sure to visit them on weekly or monthly basis ,you have already said the place is nearby your hometown so it should not be a problem.These visits of yours will be like a moral booster for them.Asides if your parents dont have any problem you can talk with them and convince them to come and settle with you.Remember happiness is not your's unless your near and dear ones are a part of it.

Since you will be moving in a city that is close to your hometown, just try to visit your parents once in a while. They will truly appreciate it. They will find it hard to cope up w/ it for a while, but they'll get used to it and I am sure that they will understand that you now have a life of your own and you have to achieve your goals in the process

Your parents want the best for you and they want you to be happy. They know there will come a time where you have to go live your own life and do things that make you happy. Parents raise their children to be independent so they can stand on their own to feet. I'm sure your parents will be proud of you.

They were able to take care of you when you were young and I think that they will be able to handle things without you around.
I have always believed that parents would want what would make their child happy so I think that you should have no guilt leaving them. At least before you go away, find someone who would watch over them once in a while. You should also have visits on a regular basis. I think that with this, things will be just fine.
